Using a second antenna with a Dual Antenna Adaptor will almost double the read area.

Depending on tag orientation, it is best to experiment to determine the optimum distance between the two antennas. The distance will range from
the maximum read range of one antenna (~1 m in the above example) to almost double that (~ 1.8 m in the above example).
The two antennas may be set up so that they are aiding (facing the same way), or opposing (facing towards each other), as pictured here. For more
information, contact your local Tru-Test representative.
Synchronising two panel readers
If two panel readers are installed in close proximity of each other (within 50 m [150 ft]), they must be synchronised, or performance will be reduced.
To synchronise two panel readers, a Synchronisation Cable must be used. This is an optional accessory which can be ordered by contacting your local
Tru-Test representative. The synchronisation cable connects the two panel readers via the Power connectors. Each panel reader must be connected to
its own indicator. Full instructions on how to synchronise two panel readers will be supplied when the cable is ordered.

If two readers are synchronised, it is possible to set up ‘dynamic field operation’ for even greater tag read probability. For more information, contact
your local Tru-Test representative.
